Curiosity is the engine for both artistic and scientific enquiry about the world. It's time for a new age of curiosity to take flight - what if we could nurture a new culture of curious citizens, where everyone is enabled to ask questions, and to imagine our collective futures together.

I currently look after the content and vision of a top UK interactive science centre, We The Curious.

This happily draws on all the things I've done on my zigzag path that brought me here....

I've been freelance in TV for 15 years, screenwriting, script editing, producing live arts broadcasts for TV and global cinema, and directing images and voices. Quite often, all of this happened at once.

I've also lectured on antimatter as the UK Particle Physics Outreach Officer, been Director of Impossible Projects for Lottolab Studio, the world's first public perception laboratory, and I've performed sketch and stand up comedy.

I originally dreamt of being an astronaut but meantime, connecting the dots between ideas in science and the arts is the thing that makes work feel like life rather than just a job.
